Hello, my name is Adoni. I live near the Red River located in the province of Manitoba. It is 1852, on a fresh crisp spring day, which is perfect weather for my travels. I am venturing out along the Red River in search for lots of buffalo for trade and most importantly for my family to eat. The river stretches far and wide within Canada and United States, and my travels may take days as I move across the terrain by foot and horseback. I mainly go in search for buffalo, but often hunt moose, fish, chicken, and also elk for more food supplies. Now that I am involved with the fur trade; I will also be able to feed my family and use the skin and fur for trade which will help us in other ways. Usually one buffalo can feed my family and we can make clothing with the fur and other products. The fur trade has given my family and me more prosperity.
It is evening now, and I must continue my preparations for the annual buffalo hunt tomorrow. I need to get my rifle ready as this is a big hunting expedition. I load up my horse with a small amount of supplies, as I will need to travel as light as possible to keep up with the group. I head off to sleep to get as much rest for the long journey ahead.
